Manifesting ... the idea of manifesting was actually brought to us in this country from the East. Now I'm sure that makes some of you want to run screaming for the hills. No worries!!! No one's going to try and turn you into Buddha or put a gun to your head and make you change.
My experience with manifesting had not been a large one. I'd heard of it on numerous occasions and I'd had several of my more
open minded friends tell me that I should learn about manifesting; but that was about the extent of it.
While cleaning out the linen closet in my bathroom a few weeks ago, I decided that I would make a few very conscious storage decisions and see if there were any noticeable changes.
My first thought as I perched myself atop the bathroom counter top with a ciggie and "my book" was that I needed to shuffle the "triage department" so that it wouldn't be at eye level when getting items out of the linen closet each day. I swapped the "triage department" with my favorite foot spa, paraffin dip and other spa-time accoutrements.
As I again perched myself on the bathroom counter with a ciggie and my book, I pondered on what a wonderful and delightful shift these changes could make. It seemed perfectly logical that with my "triage department" removed from my immediate line of vision; I wouldn't stop and ask myself if I "have pain". It also seemed perfectly logical that if my spa accoutrements were in my immediate line of vision that it would cause me to take more spa-time!
Changes made, I went about my life.
A few days later as I enjoyed my New Year's morning java, I realized something that no smoker wants to realize on a winter morning while enjoying java in delicious coziness ... I was out of ciggies!!
I bundled myself up, hat and scarf, very little makeup ... hopefully incognito ... and took off for Walgreen's. It had come to my attention on my way that I had a terrible head ache brewing and I was out of Excedrin, I took a hard right as I entered the door in search of the headache remedy.
As I zipped down the make-up aisle I couldn't help but notice a row of clearance tags along the bottom row. I slowed drastically to see if I was on the verge of missing anything that I couldn't live without. At the very end, I spied a row of tags beneath the spa section ... in utter delight I rushed ahead. Low and behold, all sorts of creams, lotions, loofahs and other "Spa-Day" accoutrements for between $1.50 and $1.79 each!!
I hadn't grabbed a basket on the way in because my only intention was to grab some Excedrin and ciggies; but I dipped myself to the ground and began to gather spa accoutrements into my arms as if I were a starving refugee gathering berries and leaves on the banks of a river.
Comfy with my selection and with the realization that I couldn't possibly hold another spa accoutrement, I began to slowly raise myself up; praying to God and channeling every other power in the Universe I've ever looked to for guidance that I did not hang the heel of my boot in my "long sweater fetish" of late and go toppling to the ground sending spa accoutrements flying in every direction.
With a slide around the corner, I made it to the Excedrin aisle and managed to pick up the "migraine" version and the "tension headache" version so that I could read the labels and compare. That's another blog within it's self ... anywho, having made my decision ... which was by the way Excedrin Tension Head Ache; I shuffled to the cosmetics counter.
Collapsing at the counter I realized I'd yet to get my ciggies. I asked the clerk if she could give me a moment to run up front and get my ciggies and she delightedly came from behind the counter and went after them; remembering to ask me not only if I wanted longs or shorts; but if I wanted box or soft pack. Complete delight!
As I made my way home I remembered I had mentioned to a friend that I would stop by if I happened to leave my comfy cocoon of The Ocho, I stopped by for a quick visit. As I began to leave, I mentioned to my friend that I had saved more than I spent at Walgreen's and had loaded up on all sorts of spa goodies.
At that very moment, she remembered that she'd gotten an over flowing basket of spa goodies, some of which created excess for her "Spa Accoutrement area" and knowing how I love spa accoutrements; she'd been saving them for me!! I thanked her profusely and drove toward the Ocho.
I swung open the door to the linen closet, totally having forgotten at this point that I'd rearranged things. As I went to toss the spa delights into the closet, I realized that the space for them was newly tidied up and right at eye level.
I manifested a spa-sale at Walgreen's and the re-gifting of spa-goodies by a friend .... by making room for it to happen. Pretty groovy if I do say so myself!!
